My daughter and I made an easy snowflake card. You will need the following materials:
- black card stock paper
- white string
- scissors
- blunt needle
- pencil
- ruler
- thumb tack
How to Make a Snowflake Card with Yarn
Step 1: Cut the black card stock paper in half and fold it. Now open up the card, and on the left side, draw a snowflake in pencil with a ruler.
Step 2: Grab the thumb tack and poke a hole at the beginning and end of each line. It’s like you’re making a dot-to-dot picture.
Step 3: Thread the needle with white string. Tie a knot in the end and begin sewing the card, making sure that the front of the card is producing the design you want.
Step 4: When you are finished, you can use a silver pen to write a message to someone before putting the snowflake card in an envelope.
You can make any design on a card, as long as the lines are straight. You could draw a cool gnarly tree with bare branches in the dark moonlight. My 7-year-old daughter designed a simple pine tree. It only took her about 5 minutes to sew and was quite easy!
